Question about 55 Gallon Drums

Jim If you are using food grade Drums you will be ok to use bleach if you rinse them really good two or three times and than use a good sanitizer. I use food grade plastic for both my primary and secondary fomenters. I use

15 gal & 30 gal white plastic along with my 3, 5, 6 & 6 1/2 gal glass carboys and I can't tell the different and believe me I would be the first to know

Someone else wrote { Tom maybe } buy bottle water. Go one better, go to your home center and buy your self a Reverse Osmosis water system. It will be one of the best buy you ever make. You will never know how much better your water will taste until you get one and your wine will also taste that much better. I know because I had to prove to a friend one time, I made two 5 gal carboy using tap water and two 5 gal carboys of reverse osmosis water the wines were pear & concord grape. He was a beer drinker he is now a wine drinker, kind of a wine connoisseur By yourself a good water system,

Moe

Consider using a metabisulfite sanitizer as a chaser. The sulphites will react with the bleach residue and remove them.
